Grade A Bridge

Bridge in the Twin Cities is receiving a big boost!

Unit 178 held a kickoff meeting at the Twin City Bridge Center to begin the organization of Junior Bridge expansion. Eighteen volunteer teachers met and discussed details and teaching methodology with Evan Sachs and Colin Kehe. Evan and Colin have been actively involved in teaching bridge at St. Anthony High School for the last three years.

Contacts for Junior Bridge activities have already been made in sixteen metro area high schools and middle schools. Volunteers are heading out in teams of two to introduce the world's finest mind game to those in the 12 to 18 year old generation. These teachers plan to spend 1 to 2 hours a week in area schools.

We need more volunteers, though!

If you are ready, willing and able, please contact Unit 178 president Marv Riedesel at 651.485.0027 or marvmary2002@yahoo.com.

Thanks to all those who are helping to promote the game we love to the next generation. And - welcome aboard, juniors! You are in for a treat.
